Sunday Stroll: A Rose By No Other Name

It was a dark and gloomy day. I got up early and waited for the sun to peek from behind the clouds. It did for a moment, and went back to hiding. Storms have played all over the state for days. My rain gauge shows 1 5/8 inches, but the cold is the worst. I have worn a sweater most days, and sometimes even more. I felt these early blooms were cheerful, in a rose garden I worked in one summer. They liked my botanical education being prepared and put me on a shovel or push mower most of the summer. It was fun in the fall bringing home dozens of roses as we prepared them for winter. I also met a friend who starts his own hybrids from seed.

My favorite shot

This tiny bunny wasn't too afraid, but more hungry.

I thought this was a statue until I turned my back and it started sneaking up on me

The roses are beautiful. My plants are leafing out gorgeously this year, but I do not see any buds as of yet. It has been sweater weather here most days too. We were in short sleeves for just an hour or two this afternoon, and only right out in the sunshine. Hope the week is wonderful!

Hi Steve - beautiful roses ... and that's a lot of rain - thankfully we've had some, but could do with more ... though this week - we might get hot ... that will be a pleasure - like you I'm adding layers. That sculpture is so clever ... cheers Hilary

Such pretty roses. You can keep your colder weather, I'm enjoying the nice mild temperatures we've been getting.I'd be careful of that dinosaur. He may not have any meat on his bones but he looks pretty ferocious...lol
